Ahoy there, Hannah!
Welcome aboard planDisney! With your potential sailing coming up this next spring, I can truly appreciate that you’re planning ahead and making sure your travel to the port is as smooth as a Magic Carpet ride. Getting to the ship is the very first step of your adventure, so it’s smart to plan this part early!
The short answer is yes—
Disney Cruise Line does offer ground transfers from Orlando International Airport to
Port Canaveral. These can be booked by giving Disney Cruise Line a call, adding them yourself through the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app (or website), or contacting your travel agent (if you’re working with one). As of now, transfers are $45 per Guest one-way or $90 per Guest for a round trip. Disney’s motorcoaches are a bit like stepping into your own personal “Happily Ever After” carriage—comfortable, climate-controlled, and sometimes even playing Disney shorts that get you in the seafaring spirit before you even glimpse the ship!
Now, one of my top recommendations is to fly in at least one day before your embarkation. Like the Mad Hatter’s tea party, travel days can sometimes feel a little topsy-turvy—and you’ll want to avoid any stress from delayed flights or unexpected travel hiccups. Arriving early helps you start your cruise with calm seas. If you’re looking for convenience, staying at the Hyatt Regency Orlando International Airport is a great option. Disney can whisk you away to Port Canaveral, making the whole experience as seamless as a bibbidi bobbidi boo transformation. Just remember to
call Disney Cruise Line to note your
hotel stay so they can link it to your reservation.
Another tip: Disney transfers are not only convenient but also ensure that, in the unlikely event of any delays, the ship knows you’re on the way. It’s a little added “Hakuna Matata” peace of mind that private transportation doesn’t always provide.
I hope this helps as you get ready to set sail! Trust me when I say the magic begins the moment you step aboard the motorcoach—it’s like your vacation prologue before the main story even begins. No matter which path you choose, your journey to Port Canaveral is the first chapter of a truly unforgettable adventure.
Sea ya real soon as we ride the wave of summer’s final stretch in Disney style,
